#CFEEAA

sRGB: 207 / 238 / 170

Celestial flames reshape eternity
Immortal legends transcend the boundaries of time
Brilliant stars illuminate hidden worlds

#CFEEAA belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 207 red, 238 green and 170 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 87.4° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 66.7% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 80.0% on a scale from black (0%) to white (100%). Of black and white lettering, black has the clearer light-to-dark separation on this background (16.46:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #CFEEAA in light and dark. The ratio compares relative luminance, a measure of light weighted for human vision. Identical colors give 1:1 and black against white gives 21:1. A ratio of 2.99:1 falls just below the 3:1 AA minimum for large text. Body text needs at least 4.5:1 because its finer strokes are harder to distinguish.

Black text: 16.46:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.28:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: Fail

AA and AAA are WCAG accessibility levels. AAA sets a higher bar: 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. Large text begins at 18 pt regular or 14 pt bold. Ratings use the unrounded ratio.

Palettes & scales

Harmonies rotate the hue. Scales mix the starting color with white, black or middle gray in 20% steps in encoded sRGB.

Complementary

#C9AAEE sits half a turn (180°) from #CFEEAA on the HSL wheel. Keeping saturation and lightness steady while crossing to the opposite hue gives you a contrasting accent. Check text contrast separately before using the pair for lettering.

#CFEEAA #C9AAEE

Analogous

#EEEBAA and #ADEEAA sit 30° to either side of #CFEEAA. The three hues are neighbors on the wheel, so you can change the color of a border or highlight while keeping it close to the original.

#EEEBAA #CFEEAA #ADEEAA

Triadic

#CFEEAA, #AACFEE and #EEAACF are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#CFEEAA #AACFEE #EEAACF

Split complementary

Start at #CFEEAA and look across the wheel. #AAADEE and #EBAAEE sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#CFEEAA #AAADEE #EBAAEE

Square

Starting with #CFEEAA, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #AAEEEB, #C9AAEE, then #EEAAAD. Across the square, #CFEEAA pairs with #C9AAEE, and #AAEEEB with #EEAAAD.

#CFEEAA #AAEEEB #C9AAEE #EEAAAD

Tetradic

#CFEEAA and #C9AAEE are opposites, as are #AAEEC9 and #EEAACF. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #CFEEAA appears in each simulation. When two chart lines or status indicators become hard to tell apart, a label, shape or line pattern gives readers another way to distinguish them. Individual perception varies.

Protanopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from long-wavelength cones, some reds and greens can look alike, and reds can appear darker.

#F5E5A6

Deuteranopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from medium-wavelength cones, some greens can be difficult to distinguish from reds or browns.

#F0E3AD

Tritanopia

A blue–yellow color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from short-wavelength cones, blue can resemble green, and yellow can resemble pink.

#D2E8DC

Protanomaly (50%)

An altered long-wavelength cone response can make reds appear dimmer and harder to distinguish from greens. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.
